Outcome factorisation is a method for quantifiably comparing outcomes generated by similar activities, used in Quantitative research This process of measurement is central to quantitative research because it provides a fundamental and measurable connection between empirical observation and mathematical expression of the quantitative relationships. It has been used in various areas of Social Sciences and has been the basis of many Market Research projects. ==Calculation== One method of calculating Outcome factorisation is as follow:〔 ( Sun Ging-Yun, Empirical methodology in the tautological study of qualitative and quantitative social interaction data, Albany: State University of New York Press 1982 )〕 1) Prepare a qualitative questionnaire asking the respondents to give a score of between -10 and + 10. 2) Average out the scores. A weighted average can be used. Calculate the average of all the questionairres from respondents 3) Calculate the inverse natural logarithm. This is the Outcome Factorisation ( OF). This can be produced on excel spreadsheets by using the EXP(..) function 4) This number can be divided by the cost ( per day) to create the outcome factorisation per unit of currency - UK £ or US $ 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Outcome factorisation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
